Rhoden family in 911 call: 'I fear for my life'

“I fear for my life,” a Rhoden family member told a 911 operator “a couple of days” after eight members of the family were found shot to death in Pike County, Ohio.

In a recording released Thursday by officials with Greenup County, Ky., E-911, Kenny Rhoden placed the call right after leaving a Speedway gas station because he thought he was being followed as he drove through South Shore, Ky., an Ohio River town across from Portsmouth, Ohio.

Rhoden told the operator that at least two people in what he believed was a forest green, newer model Chrysler had been following him for eight to 10 miles. Rhoden called out the license tag number, but he couldn’t say what state was on the tags. He told the operator the car had tried to cut him off.
